La valorizzazione delle aree industriali sottoutilizzate, un approccio multi-livello
No full textNello studio della valorizzazione delle aree industriali dismesse vanno analizzati due assi principali: l’offerta dei beni da valorizzare e la domanda dei beni. L’offerta delle aree industriali dismesse nella maggior parte delle economie occidentali rappresenta un problema poiché a causa della crisi globale, della deindustrializzazione (e delocalizzazione delle produzioni) e l’obsolescenza dei prodotti architettonici si è creata un’offerta eccessiva di aree rispetto all’effettiva domanda espressa. La presenza di sovra-stock di beni immobili e la concomitanza di fattori deprimenti per la domanda potenziale incide in maniera significativa sulle strategie per il riuso in quanto si rischia di produrre più aree dismesse di quante se ne riesca a rigenerare. Il processo di valorizzazione filtra le componenti che influenzano la creazione di un eccesso di stock di aree dismesse e un mancato assorbimento da parte del mercato attraverso lo studio di soluzioni per rendere il bene edilizio funzionale alla domanda
Production and production over-supply in construction: estimating unsold stock in Italy
Full text linkPurposeThe aim of the article is to identify the limitations and critical issues in the way information in the real estate sector in Italy is currently managed, and propose the principles of a method that would provide information and comparison of the phenomenon of over-supply and non-rational land use. This study is based on a series of assumptions, the first of which is a definition of ???unsold???, deemed to mean ???the amount of new housing units neither occupied nor sold nor rented???. In effect, unsold stock can be considered as over-supply of construction.
Design/methodology/approachThe article identifies the critical aspects in the determination of unsold real estate in Italy, starting from the available data and research already carried out; the results are often contradictory. The comparison with programming systems of building production adopted in other countries allows identification of the guidelines can be used to better understand and combat the phenomenon.
FindingsThe assessment of the state of the art provides a clear picture of the shortcomings and potential of the tools used to date to meet the need of studying a complex phenomenon with many obscure points. Following the empirical analysis comes out a picture of inefficiencies due to the poor quality of 'information as well as the reluctance of data sharing and integration procedures by the institutional and market players.
Research limitations/implicationsThe research produces solutions addressed to the Italian situation, but it identifies systems and methods used in other countries.
Practical implicationsThe article suggests the collection systems and management information that can be used for a more accurate knowledge of unsold real estate.
Originality/valueThe article seeks to provide the necessary answers to those who must understand the reasons of harmful effects for the market, such as overproduction; besides some models focused on three areas - the procedures, the organization, the market - are also proposed
REAL ESTATE STRATEGIES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMPANIES FROM ENERGY EFFICIENCY: A SYSTEMIC APPROACH
No full textSeveral studies show that companies have a "general" approach to energy saving and that the resources are used in a poorly structured criterion: only the minority of companies are adopting specific strategies and sets measurable objectives over time. This approach generalized in energy saving, together with the perception of high costs for the construction/maintenance of solutions to improve efficiency, is the main barrier to the final development of the sector. It must be considered that in many cases, an entrepreneur not being able to assess in detail the technological solutions that are proposed, can be brought to make not appropriate choices, often partial and non-prioritized on the consumption profile of the company. In response to the previously enounced needs, the Department ABC of Politecnico di Milano has developed a tool able to offer an energy check-up of the whole system, with precise indications about the areas in need of interventions (at any level) in terms of energy (efficiency aptitude/priorities for action) and time of return on investment (range). The aim of this paper is to describe this tool and its applicative purposes
Opportunità e prospettive per gli scali ferroviari milanesi dal mercato globale
No full textGli scali ferroviari milanesi devono essere considerati all’interno
della più ampia offerta di aree dismesse presenti nelle maggiori città
europee, in un numero crescente a partire dal processo di deindustrializzazione
degli anni Ottanta.
Il mercato globale dei capitali impone ai detentori dei diritti sulle
superfici non più utilizzate di uniformarsi a regole e a pratiche comprensibili
a chi ha il compito di selezionare investimenti al fine di ottenere
rendite.
Questa necessità deve determinare la definizione di un marketing
territoriale evoluto da parte delle Amministrazioni locali e la formazione
di operatori capaci di interfacciarsi con chi detiene l’offerta di
liquidità, al fine di intercettare potenziali investimenti anche per realtà
locali e periferiche rispetto al mercato internazionale.
La trasparenza, la qualità dell’informazione, dei progetti, la formazione
degli operatori, l’interoperatività tra soggetti e la collaborazione
in un’ottica di salvaguardia del bene comune possono favorire
l’investimento di capitali freschi nelle città. In questo scenario, valorizzare
il grande potenziale della città di Milano nel panorama globa
Identification of vacant space; a prerequisite for industrial and societal development
No full textIn the real state community, vacant space is mostly regarded as a cost and a negative factor. However from a societal perspective, vacant space might function as a necessity for growth and creativity. Vacant space is not merely relevant for companies and organisations, but also for residential areas. In order to satisfy space flexibility, companies and organisations must have access to additional space during periods of expansion as well as additional residential areas and other facilities for e.g. employees.
Conversely, vacant space must be managed during times of recession. In current practices, space flexibility can be enhanced through efficiencies, ownership, relocation, leasing, and in a larger scale, through governmental and public initiatives. This paper presents new methodologies derived from strategies from manufacturing industry; which are here applied to identify vacant space and potential market. It has been discussed a certain amount of concepts for an efficient allocation of resources by relating to Facilities Management, Total Quality Management and ICT as a significant approach for rendering efficiencies in land use, particularly in countries characterised by scarcity of green areas and abundant “brownfields” are rather a topic for development. In a conclusive discussion, this paper argues that the identification of vacant space, in multiple perspectives, is crucial for the future for urban and regional planning

Attracting Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) in Italy: Digitalizing and Standardizing the Territorial Promotion for the Attractiveness of the Regional Areas
No full textThe article analyzes the aspect of the attraction of foreign direct investments (FDI) linked
to the presentation phase of the territorial offer of the Italian Regions, highlighting in a
synoptic table all the characteristics and differences, geographical area by geographical
area. The aim of the paper is the proposition of a unique web model for each Region that
is standard and effective. Each web page attributable to the Investment Attraction Agencies
(IPA) of the various Italian Regions is analyzed, evaluating the main aspects in order to
recognize their value within the investment attraction strategy of each Region. The basic
characteristics for each Region are studied and a hypothesis of an organizational model is
formulated for the promotion of the territories according to a systemic and organized
presentation of the Regions inside the global FDI scheme. The paper opens the discussion
about the duplicity and spread of digital information that can confuse and produce a
negative impact on attracting foreign investors in Italy, providing a base for the
implementation of new regulations on FDI promotion in Italy
ОТ ПРОИЗВОДСТВА К ЗАСТРОЙКЕ. СТРАТЕГИИ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ ВЫСОКОТЕХНОЛОГИЧНЫМИ ПРОЕКТАМИ В РОССИИ - FROM MANUFACTURING TO BUILT ENVIRONMENT. STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING QUALITY-DRIVEN PROJECTS IN RUSSIA
No full textThis paper is aimed to deliver a review of some techniques derived from other disciplines to enhance quality in the planning, design and maintenance process in Urban Areas. The definition of the driver of Information and Stakeholder (the number of subjects affected by the project’s effects during all its lifecycle) is as important as the definition of Sustainability idea according to the three carachteristics: Environmental, Social and Economical. Cultural driver, related to social sustainability is taken into account, advicing the decision maker to consider the use of the tools presented as potentially useful for their method but it is needed a strong effort of adaptation for any situation. Replicability of the model is one of the positive aspects of this approach as it improve quality and knowledge in all the subjects involved in the phases of the lifecycle of the object
Quality processes and transparency of information for a new market
No full textAbstract: This article deals with the issue of quality in construction and its processes and transparency of information in Italy as determining factors in the design and manufacture of products in line with the needs and demands of the end customer, in accordance with resources, common interest and the environment. By analysing the relevant literature, the article describes the approach, methodology and tools typically used in manufacturing and production. Based on these ideas, which are strongly oriented to encompass the needs of this context, the paper attempts to assess similar actions that can be undertaken as part of the process of creation or alteration of a building product, considering its constraints and uniqueness. Some elements in particular are investigated in depth. The first is the consideration of the specifications of the "customer" and the stakeholders that revolve around the building product; many of the inefficiencies in the system come from processes that are complementary to the physical process of manufacturing the goods and are not directly related to the perception that the end user has of the product, also due to the context of demand, which in recent years has changed significantly. The second is the influence of the crisis, which has highlighted the need to investigate the reasons that have led to the failure to absorb the building product in recent years. The article analyses the characteristics of the stock of unsold assets, identifying the reasons for this, and proposes an approach where centrality is represented by the needs of the application, the quality of the processes that characterise building production and their mapping. The final objective of this work is to provide useful insights into the housing market in different contexts, identifying tools and referring to some international experiences, in order to manage the quantities produced in relation to what the market can actually absorb
